The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will hold a town hall on the future of Wasatch Boulevard at Cottonwood Heights City Hall on Wednesday, Nov. 18.
The meeting gives residents a chance to hear about medians, a proposed mobility hub and other changes planned for the corridor, according to a Cottonwood Heights City Facebook post. The city said residents can "learn more about the median along Wasatch Boulevard and explore potential renderings for the future mobility hub."
A quorum of the Cottonwood Heights City Council may attend, which means residents could raise concerns directly with elected officials and UDOT staff in the same room.
Check the time before you go. The city's two official notices list different start times. A public meeting notice filed Nov. 4 by Cottonwood Heights City Recorder Tiffany Janzen lists the event from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Community Room at 2277 E. Bengal Blvd. The city's Facebook post lists it from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Cullimore Room at the same address. Residents may want to contact the city to confirm the schedule.
Wasatch Boulevard, designated State Route 210, has been the subject of long-running planning efforts. UDOT began an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in 2018 covering Little Cottonwood Canyon and Wasatch Boulevard, according to a Cottonwood Heights Q&A page written by UDOT Project Manager Josh Van Jura. That process examined ways to improve safety and mobility for commuters, residents and canyon visitors along the corridor.
Separately, UDOT completed a safety project at the Wasatch and Bengal boulevards intersection on Aug. 20, adding improved crosswalks, accessible push buttons, new sidewalks and modified turn lanes and signals, according to a UDOT project page.
The Nov. 18 town hall is at Cottonwood Heights City Hall, 2277 E. Bengal Blvd. Residents with questions about the time or room can reach the city recorder's office at [email protected].
